Everything you could ever want in a vendor!

We got married at the House of Blues on March 25, 2023, and it was nothing short of amazing! We got married in the Voodoo Garden and had our reception in the Parish Room. This place EXCEEDED our expectations! Jeanne and her staff are a god send, absolutely amazing! They were all so helpful and attentive during our wedding day, no detail was missed. Everything from flow of the ceremony and reception, the food, the set up, the design of our spaces, all were top notch. We worked with Jeanne for a year and a half planning the most absolute bad ass wedding, and she was such a pleasure to work with. No request was unmet. She made EVERYTHING happen for us. She definitely went above and beyond for us. They really can turn this venue into the most beautiful and intimate space for a wedding. I HIGHLY recommend this venue and it's staff for a wedding, or any party or gathering. I promise you, they will not disappoint. I wish we could do it all over again!

My wife and I recently got married in New Orleans, a destination wedding for ourselves and all of our guests. The venue we chose was the House of Blues and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.

When we were first looking for venues in NOLA we wanted to go with some place in the French Quarter that was unique, fun, had a space large enough for up to 100 guests, had a great in-house chef (because we didn’t want to have to deal with an additional vendor), and was affordable. We ended up finding HOB on multiple wedding sites with great reviews.

We reached out to get some more information and spoke with Britt, the sales coordinator there. Britt was really helpful in answering our questions and quickly responding to emails. Britt was able to connect us with the right people to get things moving.

We ended up booking the Voodoo Garden for our ceremony and the Parish Room for our reception. From that point Jeanne took over helping us organize the initial plans of our event. Since we were doing everything from the other side of the country, we needed lots of assistance from HOB staff, and Jeanne was happy to take that role and made the process super smooth for us.

A few months before the wedding we made a trip out to New Orleans to meet with some of our vendors, and we also met with Allie the Sales Manager while we were there. Allie was incredibly accommodating for us, and we left that meeting feeling great about our upcoming nuptials!

We also started corresponding with Jen who was the Logistics Coordinator for our wedding.She went above-and-beyond for us, coordinating the event with us late one evening on a 2 hour phone call. She was even able to work with the chef there to make us a special beignet tower instead of a typical wedding cake.

Thank you HOB for a great wedding. Cant wait to see you the next time we're down in the Crescent City!

We had both our ceremony and reception at the HOB NOLA this past March... and it was really better than we could have imagined!!! Kelly/Allie worked so hard to execute all of our visions & wishes, and everything went off without a hitch. We had our reception in the VooDoo garden, and despite it down-pouring an hour before the wedding, the courtyard looked beautiful, dry and they even added some decorations down the aisle to match our wedding theme. They also accommodated a band we brought down from home that played during the ceremony. Most importantly, our guests had a blast! They were able to enjoy a cocktail before/during the ceremony, and we had a second line up to the Parish Room. The reception was amazing. The lighting, music (hire the Dana Abbott Band!) , food, table decor, bar... everything looked so classy, and people were able to get seconds and thirds of the buffet which we got lots of compliments on! If you are considering the HOB for a non-traditional, FUN wedding... don't hesitate. It is worth every penny, and was certainly the best bargain when comparing venues in NOLA. THANK YOU!

We had our ceremony and reception at the House of Blues and it was absolutely amazing! Kelly and Britt (along with the rest of the staff) were so easy to work with and accommodating. From the initial planning meeting to the day of our wedding, they made sure every detail was taken care of and we could not thank them enough for all that they did to make our day so special. We would highly likely recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a fun New Orleans wedding!!

House of Blues was the perfect setting for our wedding. Cali was very easy to work with. Once we gave her our budget and what we wanted, Cali worked her magic! Having the ceremony in the Voodoo Garden was a perfect start to the day, with ending the night in the Parish Room. Since the Voodoo Garden and the Parish Room are already decorated, we did not have the extra expense of flowers and decor.

I could not have been happier with the House of Blues! It was a destination wedding and we did all of the planning over the phone. We had never even been there! Cali was totally accommodating and amazing. It was the best wedding ever. I was a happy bride. Best day and everyone at HOB made sure everything ran smoothly. I wish I could get married there every year!

When deciding on a venue for Our wedding day, I knew that I didn't really want to go the the traditional route. We knew how we wanted our day to be, we knew we wanted a very laid back venue with a taste of New Orleans, loaded with good vibes and lots of fun! We began the search and stumbled upon the House Of Blues. It was meant to be. I meant Chloè and Cali who were probably the sweetest and most personable two I have had the privilege to meet. They were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I knew then I had to discuss this with my then Fiance to inform him that We would be exchanging vows at the World Famous House of Blues. Fast forward a little and I was in complete contact with either Cali or Chole for the duration to the big day! They were always available and made my life so easy during the planning process. Fast forward to the Big Day.. EVERYTHING was perfect! The ceremony which was held in the Voodoo Garden. Have yoh ever been to a wedding where you can enjoy a beverage during a ceremony? Well my guest either and they loved it!! Now I mentioned we didn't want to spend a fortune on decor. Well the House of Blues is so creatively and Beautifully decorated. It just didn't require any add-ons. Everything was so perfect! I can go on and on but then I would be writing forever. Our reception was AMAZING! It was held in the Music Hall. It was beautiful. We were provided with a fantabulous D.J. through the House of Blues that Cali and Chloè set up for us. Wow! What a night. No one left that dance floor. Not one person! ! It was such a great time. Im not kidding people nearly a year later tell us all the time how incredible our special night was!! Environment is everything and you won't get a better venue anywhere. The world Famous House Of Blues, still can't believe we were married at such a historic and amazing place. We love the House of Blues!!! ♡♡♡
